A turkey call is used while hunting because it is difficult to get close enough to kill a turkey. A turkey call is used to bring the turkey to you. A good hunter should know how to use several different types of calls. The mouth call or diaphragm call give the most realistic sounds, however they require practice as they are the most difficult of the calls to learn. The diaphragm calls use a read to create a vibration to make the turkey call. Hunters prefer diaphragm calls because their hands are free to operate their weapon.
Other popular types of calls are the friction calls which are great for beginners due to the ease of operation. The friction calls include box calls, slate calls, push-button call and the pot and peg call. Push and pull turkey calls are very simple to use by forcing the surface across a peg to create a realistic turkey sound. Wingbone turkey calls are one of the oldest and most successful calls, made from the wing bones of a turkey and make a yelping sound caused by the forceful sucking of air through the bones.
A few manufactures of turkey calls are Knight & Hale, Supreme Turkey Calls, Primos Hunting Calls and Midwest Turkey Call Supply. Keeping your equipment clean and dry is important for the quality and performance of your call. With the right maintenance and upkeep your turkey call can be the success of your turkey hunt. Good luck hunting!
